Official Power Rangers (Reboot) Movie General Discussion Thread
Thread for all rumor talk, official news, and such concerning the now 2017 film.
|
I really wasn't excited for this movie till I saw the leaked concept art. Made me hopefull that this won't turn out as bad as I was fearing it would. That said, they're still rather early into production, so a lot could go wrong between now and January 2017. Though the Director sounds excited to be working on it, so that certainly bodes well for the movie.
One of the things I'm currently not looking forward to is Bandai's toy line. January is an odd enough choice for the movie's release, but it's even worse timing for a toy line. I'm also worried about how the toys themselves will look... |
The January release date worries me. I wish that they went with a March release date instead.
|
I think March would be a horrible time. Way too much competition that month (Wolverine, Beauty and the Beast, and Divergent). If they delay it again, I think their best bet is April. The only real competition that month is the next Furious movie. I would say August, but with the Pacific Rim sequel slated for then, that might be a bit too close for such a similar theme. Though maybe September?
|
September is a dead month for movies. I used to work at a AMC movie theater for two years from 2010 - 2012 and that September is rarely busy. This movie is plan to be a big budget scale blockbuster and January hardly has blockbusters besides rare stuff like Cloverfield and Rambo 4. January is a sign to me that they don't care about the movie. I personally want this movie to be good and doe well at the box office. It would be cool if Power Rangers became more mainstream similar what happen with Marvel, Star Trek and Transformers.
|
We still have Lionsgate's official word that they're confident about the release date. Of course, could be PR speak, but let's hope they're telling the truth.
|
The Megazord and Rangers could look amazing but I don't think that would translate to the toys. It would be the typical BOA figures where the Rangers are steroid-fueled & the Megazord has missing paint applications and wrong transformation.
I don't see Bandai Japan making their own Movie Megazord figure. More likely they would sell the BOA version but with a better paintjob like Transformer figures. |
I wonder how they will pull off the special effects? I think the giant monsters and Zords should be CG while keep the human size monsters practical. I think if they got Weta or Legacy Effects to work on the movie then that would be awesome.

Still, on the bright side, the concept designs don't look more complicated than say, the movie Transformers. It's possible BoA could come up with a decent toy, and they're fully capable of it. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Quote:

I think Goldar, Finster, Baboo and Squatt should be done with motion capture or have them in suits. I would hate it if the movie is a total CG fest like Transformers. Power Rangers is known for it's suit work, so suits should be used in the movie.

Heroic Hollywood states that the actors for the Ranges are all going to be unknowns.

Having all unknowns for the main cast makes sense. They'll be easier to work with, and nobody will automatically outshine the others in the eyes of the general public because they already have a big fan base. That said, I hope their search goes well, and they're able to find actors/actresses with some talent.

An alleged description of the film's opening scene is circulating online.
Be warned; if true this contains spoilers- http://heroichollywood.com/home-1/20...aled-exclusive |

I'm not too crazy about Zordon being a ranger. I do like the idea of a origin story between him and Rita. I do hope that they find Rita on a different planet instead of the Moon. Rita on the Moon in MMPR never made sense to me because they find Rita on the Moon where there is sand and a blue surface sky. Then you see other scenes of the Moon in MMPR where it looks like the Moon in our world. Even as a young kid in the mid 90's, I found that confusing.
I would do something similar to Zyuranger where they do a news report of a mysterious Planet enters Earth's orbit. A group of NASA astronauts exploring the mysterious planet accidentally released Rita and her minions from their prison. I don't mind changes to the source material if they are done right. I think the new movie could change the major flaws that the original TV show had. Better character development for Rita would be nice too. |

The soulless humanoids made from cement sounds like the Puttie Patrol. I like the change from the show where the Putties were made from a toymaker whereas in this movie its made by Rita's staff. Retaining the toymaker alien would be too cheesy. I guess continuity with the show won't happen. This movie is in its own separate universe because in Dino Charge, Sledge's asteroids killed off the dinosaurs, and it sounds like Rita will kill off the dinosaurs in this movie.

Would you guys like a easter eggs in the movie from the later shows like references to the Machine Empire from ZEO?
|
Quote:
I'm predicting the villian outlook would be like this: 1st movie: Rita, 2nd movie: Lord Zedd, 3rd movie: Machine Empire |
What about Master Vile for a third movie? I mean he's Rita father and he was the final villain of MMPR before ZEO.
|
Master Vile could be done well. However, I like the rivalry between the Machine Empire and Zedd/Rita and would like to see it happen in the movies.

Kinda sad Goldar wont end up being the main villain like I originally thought. The Zordon is the first ranger thing seems cool, but given Rita will be the main villain, as long as we dont get a whole movie set around a green storyline, than Im fine with whatever they do
Still about a year and a half away, so Im not even gonna worry about this unless it gets confirmed and isnt leaked spoilers. |
This movie is set it's own universe much like how the Michael Bay Transformers movies are. I don't mind what they do as long if it's good.
|
All I ask for in return is more hiphopkido.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMrov3Slglc Jokes aside, I would not mind seeing Zordon wearing the Red Ranger suit and duke it out with Rita. |
Anyone got a Zyuranger feeling when they read the I'm also told that we first meet Rita in the prologue of the film which takes place during the cretaceous period, on the last day of the dinosaurs on Earth. Rita fights that period's Power Rangers. . MMPR was adapted from Zyuranger and if they want to do use some ideas from Zyuranger then fine by me. This movie is set in it's own universe, so they can do whatever they want as long if it's done right.

The concept art for this looks awesome but anyone else get a Gundam vibe when looking at the megazord design...also the Black Ranger concept seems a bit odd to me the others look human but he looks like the hulk had morphed

And the Megazords are concepts from way back in the day.

As for the Megazord artwork in-particular, I'm not sure if this is true, but I remember reading that those pieces were some of the original artwork for the Sentai series. Again, not sure if that's true, but that's how they were first presented to me. |
